  A hotel worker went on a shooting rampage at a Tampa(坦帕,美国港市) hotel on Thursday, killing four co-workers in the hotel and a woman in a nearby parking lot, police said. The gunman also wounded three people before he was taken into custody (拘留). Police said this latest one in a series of mass (人数极多的) shootings in the United States, began about mid-afternoon at the Radisson Bay Harbour on Courtney Campbell. Witnesses (目击者) described a chaotic (处于混乱状态的)scene as the gunman fired shots in the lobby and pool area of the hotel before commandeering (强取) a car and fleeing. “I came here from New York City to escape the craziness there and wound up in one of the most insane (疯狂的) situations I have ever been in,” a witness to the shootings told local media (大众传媒).

In September a gunman killed seven people at a youth group at the crowded Wedgwood Baptist Church in Texas before turning the gun on himself.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

  A famous Renoir had been stolen from a museum. Detective Earl Blackman was to word on the case.

  Everyone was in the dark before an art professor came to point out the false picture. So the museum even didn't know when the picture had been stolen. Thousands of people came to visit the museum every day. After a long work, some art students were focused on.

  The five students who had made copies of the Renoir during the last six months were asked to bring their copies to the museum. The fifth student said she had sold her copy, which was later proved to be the one in the museum. She, however, could only remember the buyer was a man with the little finger on his left hand missing.

  Blackman went back and stayed in his office looking at all the pictures of known thieves. No success.

  The next afternoon, at about closing time, Blackman went to the museum to ask if the cleaning men were in the museum after everyone else had left. The director told him they had no cleaning man but six cleaning women.

  As the detective left the director's office, he saw five cleaning women. He stopped one and asked about her work. Then came the sixth cleaning woman. She was dressed just like the other women except the gloves on her hands which made her different. Blackman watched her for some time. When she came near, Blackman caught her.

  A language never stands still.It is always changing and developing.These changes are rapid in primitive societies, but slow in advanced ones, because the invention of printing and the spread of education have fixed a traditional usage.The only important change that English has undergone since the first of the 16th century is a large increase in its vocabulary.It is interesting to trace the different way in which new words are invented.Let us take just two English words and see how they were made:sandwich and television.

  Sandwich, which is now no longer an entirely English word, but also international, comes from the Earl of Sandwich(died in 1792).who invented the particular form of quick meal so that he could go on gambling all through the night without stopping for dinner.Many names of things are in fact taken from the name of the first inventors, for example, the electrical terms Watt and Volt.

  Television is one of many new scientific words which are invented from old Greek and Latin words.“Tele”is Greek, meaning“far”, while“vision”comes from the Latin verb, meaning“to see”.

(1)

“Stand”in the first sentence means ________.

[  ]

A.

be in a certain condition

B.

not sit

C.

remain without change

D.

rise to the feet

(2)

What do you think Volt was?He was ________.

[  ]

a player

a physicist

a writer

a nurse
